Shift. Solve. Score. Play daily challenges and unlock rewards! Check out themed Word Packs for a new twist. Welcome to ShiftFive, a game of high-scoring strategic letter elimination. ShiftFive is a fresh take on the daily word puzzle that leaves all those boring Wordle clones and wannabes in the dust. Your job is to guess the target 5-letter word in as few tries as possible and score points while you do it. Spin the letter pickers to enter a 5-letter word and submit your guess. Each letter in the word will light up one of three colors: # Green means the letter is correct and will be locked in. # Red means the target letter comes later in the alphabet, eliminating the guessed letter and all letters before it. # Blue means the target letter is earlier in the alphabet, eliminating the guessed letter and all letters after it. After each guess, you'll see how many possible words are remaining! You're awarded points for efficiently eliminating words, guessing letters correctly, and finding the target word in as few tries as possible. So what are you waiting for? Download today and enjoy 2 different (completely free) daily game modes: > Daily Classic is the original. 5 guesses to solve the target word. Eliminate letters as you go. Use a hint if you get stuck. > Daily Shift spices things up by choosing a random word as your first guess. And what’s this? No access to a hint?! Better hope you’re feeling lucky. Complete both challenges each day to unlock exciting rewards like backgrounds, color themes, and customized logos! But wait, don’t forget about Word Packs!
Still craving more sweet Shifting action? Word Packs are where it all comes together. Unlock a new layer of strategy by guessing the target words for each theme. Enjoy one sample Word Pack for free, with 10 more available for purchase and more to be added in the future. Are you still reading? How have you not downloaded this game yet?? Happy Shifting :-D
